Getting up to Speed with Chad Green

The pace of life during the global pandemic was viscous, like watching black tar oozing the span of an inch in the span of a week. We had a lot of catching up to do rectifying the days of thunder, so naturally we tasked professional Nitro Funny Car owner and driver Chad Green with the challenge. We were lucky enough to partner with this driver originally from Midland Texas, and learned why this speed demon recently upgraded from the Pro Mod car to the dangerously faster Funny Nitro Car.

Chad Green Motorsports Meet and Greet at Tahiti Village.

Before Chad Green hit the track, Tahiti Village and Chad Green Motorsports hosted a Meet and Greet for fans and guests alike. Fans and guests came to Tahiti Village and were clearly as excited to meet Chad as we were, as throngs of people and polite hysteria ensued around Chad and his car, where he patiently met all his fans and overdosed on selfies like a true sport. Tahiti Village has a long history supporting the sports world, sponsoring teams like The Golden Knights, Las Vegas Aces, and the Las Vegas Lights. It’s a perk and a privilege we always look forward to sharing with our owners and their guests. We were also able to give away tickets to owners to enjoy the NHRA Camping World 4 Wide Nationals that happened April 1st – 3rd. Nitro Funny Car at Tahiti Village

Father Son Duo

Father and Son duo, Chad Green in his Nitro Funny Car, and Hunter Green in his Top Alcohol Car both drove at the NHRA Camping World 4 Wide Nationals in Las Vegas. Hunter Green made his first ever debut in the Top Alcohol Dragster Class. Fans and attendees flocked to see their set-up, enjoying the spoils of these events. Both drivers did exceptionally well, qualifying to race against some of the best.

Two of the fastest straight line vehicles on Planet Earth and their adrenaline-fueled drivers will be at Tahiti Village Resort & Spa, Las Vegas’ favorite tropical resort paradise, for a meet and greet on Oct. 30. NHRA drivers Terry McMillen and Chad Green will chat with fans, sign autographs and pose for photos from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Guests can enter a free raffle for tickets to the Dodge NHRA Nationals, take home racing swag, and enjoy refreshing Meeowee Wowee Shave Ice.

Terry has competed on the NHRA circuit since 2007. He drives an 8,000-horsepower Top Fuel Dragster capable of reaching 330 miles per hour. He won the prestigious U.S. Nationals for the first time in 2018, and earned his first career win, in Las Vegas, in 2017.

Chad is a NHRA Pro Mod driver. His 3200-horsepower vehicle can reach speeds of more than 250 miles per hour. Chad made his NHRA debut in 2018, qualifying for all 12 national events and finishing fifth in the championship points to cap an impressive rookie campaign.

The event is free and open to the public. It will be held at the Tahiti Village front entrance beneath the porte cochere. Tahiti Village is located at 7200 Las Vegas Blvd. South and Warm Springs Road.

Family friendly Tahiti Village in Las Vegas is proud to be the hotel partner of Terry McMillen and Chad Green. We wish them the best of luck at the NHRA Las Vegas event. We encourage Tahiti Village guests and Las Vegas residents to stop by for the meet and greet. This will be Chad’s first visit to the property, and we have been hosting meet and greets with Terry on his twice yearly visits to Las Vegas since 2013.

He’s even been known to let fans sit in his Amalie Oil dragster, the Xtermigator!

You say you can’t get enough Terry? You say one three-hour appearance once a year doesn’t cut it? You say you want even more?

You asked for it, you got it!

We invite you to meet Terry McMillen beneath the porte cochere in front of the main lobby building from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Wednesday, Oct. 26, as the NHRA drag racer makes his second of two yearly appearances at Tahiti Village.

You can talk to and pose for pictures with Terry, marvel at (and maybe sit inside of) his awesome 8,000-horsepower Amalie Oil dragster, and enjoy complimentary pink popcorn in recognition of breast cancer awareness month.

You’ll also have a chance to win great prizes, including race tickets to the NHRA Toyota Nationals this weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Please enjoy our special Pink Nitro drink at 17° South Booze & Bites. Fifty percent of the proceeds from each Pink Nitro sale will benefit breast cancer support group She4Life, Terry’s favorite charity. So if you’re on property this Wednesday, please join us for a good time and a great cause!

We are proud to host Terry and his crew during the NHRA Toyota Nationals at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway every spring and fall. Good luck, Terry!
